Alternatively, you could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, or Insight Vacations.

Is this tour package fully refundable. Please share cancellation policy as I coulsnt see it mentioned in the tour package.

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We recommend CostSaver which is open to all ages, or other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

do you have a guided tour for approx this date

We've found a couple of guided tours offered by our sister brands that are quite similar to this one. The main difference is that the end locations of these tours vary. Here are the available options we've found: Trafalgar Tours European Traveller (Start Location: London End Location: Rome) Tour Duration: 10 Days, and Costsaver European Experience (Start Location: London End Location: Amsterdam) Tour Duration: 14 days

Is this tour good or could be bad for us considering we are 70 and 72 years old?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We recommend CostSaver which is open to all ages, or other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

I would like to enquire about the reporting time and exact venue on 21st June should I book for this tour

Travelers will meet at the courtyard of the Royal National Hotel in London, followed by a ferry crossing from Dover to Calais. We recommend arriving at the courtyard at least 30 minutes before departure, which is scheduled between 4:45 AM and 6:45 AM.

I noticed some of your trips have different age ranges. The one I'm looking at states age range of 18-35. Does this mean you can only be in that range?

Yes, Contiki trips are designed exclusively for 18 to 35 year olds. The company's goal is to create memorable travel experiences that young people can resonate with, which means most of the facilities and activities would not be appropriate outside of this age bracket. However, if you are a past travel with Contiki, we have a Reunion trip for the 35-45's age.

Is it possible to start the tour in Amsterdam instead of London?

It is possible to begin the trip in Amsterdam instead of London. The cost for this option, based on single-room occupancy, is $3,514.00. Please note that the tour will still conclude in London. If you choose not to continue to London, the rate will remain the same, as this is a fixed package tour.

I would like to inquire on the mode of travel that we will be using to travel throughout europe... This is because it says flights are not included.

The transportation that will be used throughout the tour will be via Motorcoach. International flights are not included in the tour price. Please also be advised that Contiki has an age restriction and can only accommodate travellers aged 18 to 35 years old.

Tengo dudas con la acomodacion de las habitaciones

If two of you are traveling together, you can book a Twin Room to share with your companion throughout the tour. Accommodation will be provided at multiple hotels during the trip. Please also be informed that Contiki tours have an age restriction and are exclusively available to travelers aged 18 to 35 years old.

Thank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations.

I had the pleasure of traveling with Rianna, and without a doubt, she deserves to win Tour Guide of the Year. From start to finish, Rianna made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Her knowledge of the destinations was exceptional. She shared so many personal insights and stories that really brought each place to life. And let’s not forget her amazing sense of humor; the puns and jokes she sprinkled throughout the trip kept everyone laughing and lightened the mood. What really set Rianna apart, though, was her approachability. No matter what, she was always there to answer questions, offer advice, or just chat about the day's events. She made everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. The day sheets were always organized and easy to follow, and we always knew exactly what to expect next. Her recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems were perfect, adding a personal touch that made the trip even more special. On the coach, Rianna kept us engaged with fun games, trivia, and challenges that made the long rides feel like part of the adventure. Her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, approachable personality truly made the trip memorable. Rianna went above and beyond in every aspect, and there’s no one more deserving of the Tour Guide of the Year award. She even organized a catch up in Melbourne for all her past travellers from her time with Contiki as she keeps in contact with many of us who want to stay in touch! Shows she cares not just for the job, but deeply about the people she takes on trips.Show more

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  I have a question regarding our upcoming tour: European Discovery (Summer, Start London, Classic). I noticed that there are many optional activities listed and I was wondering whether we need to organise these ourselves in advance, or if the tour guide will assist in arranging them during the day should we wish to participate.
  
  If we choose to book optional activities independently, how can we know the approximate time we will be arriving at each destination so that we can plan accordingly?
  
  Could you also please clarify when we will receive detailed information regarding the daily itinerary and timing for each activity?
- ContikiOperator•Written January 2026
  For the optional experiences/free‐time add‐ons, these will be offered to you directly by your Trip Manager during the trip, so there's no need to book them in advance. Your Trip Manager will provide further details and help coordinate payment, which is usually accepted in cash (local currency) as well as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
  
  The exact timing for arrivals at each destination will be shared by your Trip Manager during the tour itself. This is because schedules can vary depending on the time of year, local circumstances such as weather, and even the day of the week. We recommend waiting until your Trip Manager provides the daily details before making independent arrangements for optional activities, to ensure your plans align smoothly with the group itinerary.
  
  The detailed daily itinerary, including exact timings for each activity, will be provided directly by your Trip Manager during the tour. This approach allows for flexibility, as schedules may vary depending on local circumstances such as weather, traffic, or the day of the week.
